Carcavelos is where all of Lisbon comes to surf. It’s just 12 km by car, or a mere 20 minutes by train from the Cais do Sodre station in central Lisbon, and it can certainly get crowded with school kids and tourists trying their luck on a foam board. There’s no shortage of rental shops and schools. Fortunately, the beach is wide enough for everyone, most of the time – and you may have it *almost* all to yourself if you show up before 8am.
Waves
This beach break offers rights and lefts for rides up to 150 meters on a good day. The best swells come from the south, and the waves are ridable from 1 to a little over 2 meters. It’s best at mid-tide. The lineup, and the beach, do get incredibly crowded, especially on the weekend, since Carcavelos is great for expert and beginner surfers alike. If you do know what you’re doing and need space, the nearby Parede offers a much more challenging rocky bottom break that’s perfect when the swell’s in.
